Default idea for cleaning dual-spoke wheels

Do you know those charcoal colored foam paint brushes that you can buy at Loew's or Home Depot? Well, I thought of buying a larger one and using that as my cleaning device to clean those ever-so-hard-to-reach crevices in between the spokes of the optional allroad wheels. Has anyone else had cleaning tip ideas?

Default Re: idea for cleaning dual-spoke wheels

I've been doing this and it works pretty well for the whole car. Kind of a coarse/fine clean system, and overall not too time consuming....

1. Couple times a week I clean the car with a mist detailer. Forget the name, but it's from Mcguires. You just dust the car off, and then wipe it down to remove road junk. It keeps the car looking pretty good, and works well enough on the wheels too.

2. Then I hit the wheels with a wheel cleaner spray every 2 or 3 weeks when I actually wash the car. That gets the brake dust out of the crevices that I may have missed before. I haven't had to spend much time brushing (or flossing) my spokes.

Default Zymol wheel cleaning & protection kit

I use the Zymol kit (after a suggestion by Sal) and like it - for my one-piece wheels. I think it would work fine for the two-piece ones. The kit contains cleaner fluid, a brush and liquid protectant (supposed to prevent brake dust buildup). Easy to use and it seems to be effective.
